Issue with peacock--respiratory or gape worm?
I'm still dealing with something with this guy. I noticed cankers in his mouth, so I started him on metronidazole and baytril. I went through a course of both of those (5 days of baytril, and 7 days of metronidazole), and the cankers went away, but he was still gaping. Gave him a few days off... -
Issue with peacock--respiratory or gape worm?
Thank you! He's almost back to completely normal this morning, so I'm thinking it was an obstruction that he has cleared. I'm definitely not thinking upper respiratory now, thank goodness. I'm going to keep an eye on him obviously, but I think he's out of the woods. And thank you for the... -
Issue with peacock--respiratory or gape worm?
Thank you for your reply! Yes, I actually did consider an obstruction. We gave them some leafy greens yesterday, which they love, and it's possible he ate something too fast, even though I cut it up into pretty small bits. I can catch him, but he's not happy about it, lol. I'll try to grab... -
Issue with peacock--respiratory or gape worm?
I have a 3 yo male peacock who was acting fine yesterday morning (calling, displaying, etc.), but was gasping for air last night when I checked on them before bed. He is also wheezing. His eyes are clear, no nasal discharge, no swollen sinuses. I gave him a dose of valbazen (1cc) last night... -
Concerned about progressive pied/progressive white with my cameo bs peacock
It's absolutely the same bird in all three pictures. He's the only cameo bs cock I own, and I took all three pictures. The one in the snow was taken early this past winter, and the other two were taken this past week. That's why I'm concerned. He was much darker than he is now. As long as... -
Concerned about progressive pied/progressive white with my cameo bs peacock
I bought this cameo black shoulder boy a year ago. At the time, I was told he was about 1, but I think he was more like 6 months because he still has some baby feathers, and his train obviously has a lot of growing left to do. That would put him at roughly 1 1/2 to 2 right now. As he molts... -
Considering selling call duck hatching eggs
We have a nice little flock of call ducks of various colors that my daughter shows at our local fair. Currently, we are incubating 7 and the majority of them are developing nicely. One of our hens also hatched out ducklings last year, so the fertility is very good. We are considering selling... -
How many Ducks does everyone have.
13 adult call ducks, and 7 call eggs in the incubator... -
Horsehair baskets
This one has been done for a while, but I'm just getting around to taking a picture of it. :) -
Peahen Displaying
Here's a picture of my young hybrid peahen, Irene, displaying. I notice that mine do it most when something is upsetting or out of the ordinary for them. This time, Irene was upset by the fact that our goats were racing all around outside her pen. LOL -
How many peahens and what age?
We have peach, peach pied, purple, cameo black shoulder, IB black shoulder, and Spaulding hens, and IB, IB pied, and cameo black shoulder cocks. They're just pets, and I'm not really interested in breeding on any large scale. I am curious, though, to see what genetics may be hiding in some of... -
Peafowl identification
I would say male. He looks to be India Blue with some Java mixed in, and his pattern is black shoulder. Beautiful bird! P.S. I'm by no means an expert on color/gender, so if anyone else thinks something different, please correct me! I'm still learning, too. :) -
How many peahens and what age?
I was quite shocked, honestly. It's been pretty cold here up until about a week ago, so I wasn't even looking for eggs yet. Imagine my surprise when I went out to tuck them in at night and found that first egg! So far, they've alternated an egg approximately every day for a total of 6. I'm... -
How many peahens and what age?
I have a couple of peach ladies who surprised me by beginning to lay! They are ages 4 and 5, and I'm in Ohio. :)
